Webservices Scenario- Front end - Newbie question

One of the client has a login page that takes the following info:
Username
Password
ProjectID

While username and password are defined by the client, the projectID is
a String that comes from our firm and is necessary for our invoices.

I.e, users from our firm access the client website and enter a projectId.
(this is necessary for our invoices)

We do not want to give them the list of our projectIds to be displayed in
a drop down box on the login page as it is not Wise.

My question:
Can I use Webservices so that : The client can invoke the webservice we provide,
to retrieve the project ID that the user chooses.

The scenario I am thinking of is:
User enters Login and pass.
When he gets to the PROject Id field, He can click a button beside the field
that will invoke a webservice on our server that will display a dropdown
box of our Project Ids.
He chooses a Project ID which is sent to back tot he client.
He can then click Submit on the client Login page.
